Roland Fantom-X User Manual page 40

Each event is labeled as a "Note," a brown "Pitch Bend" or as a blue "CC,"
for MIDI "Control Change" event. MIDI Control Change events affect the
behavior and sonic characteristics of patches and rhythm sets.
• Note area—The Note area graphically displays the notes
just before and after the currently selected event, reading
from top to bottom. The currently selected note is dark
blue.
• Control Change area—The Control Change area shows a
graphic representation of MIDI Control Change messages
associated with the currently selected event. When a note
is selected, velocity values that represent the force at
which the note is struck are displayed.
Working in the Microscope Screen
Move through the track or pattern by selecting individual
events with the 6 and 5 buttons, VALUE dial and the RESET,
BWD and FWD buttons.
When an event is first selected, it's highlighted in blue. If it's a
note event, and you've selected it using 5, 6 or the VALUE
dial, you hear the note.
To edit an event:
1. Select the event you want to edit.
2. Press 3 and/or 4 to highlight the event value you want
to change.
3. Turn the VALUE dial to set the selected value as desired.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to make any additional changes to
the event.
The Microscope screen's F buttons offer additional editing

location. When you press F1 (Create), the Create Event

event to be added to the song.

About Adding Beat Loops to a Song
When you sample beat loops or import them—as described in
the Workshop series booklet Sampling on the Fantom-X—you
assign the loops to pads in a rhythm set or to the keyboard
keys in a patch.
